TONY BLAIR'S FAREWELL

Some may belittle politics. But we who are engaged in it know it is where people stand tall. Although I know it has its many harsh contentions, it is still the arena that sets the heart beating a little faster.

If it is on occasion the place of low skullduggery, it is more often the place for the pursuit of noble causes, and I wish everyone, friend or foe, well.

-- British Prime Minister Tony Blair

Conservatives may not agree with Tony Blair on a lot of issues but he has been a great friend to the U.S. and he "gets it" when it comes to the war on terror. I thought the above quote by him was an excellent quote to say in his farewell speech. Pretty impressive!!

Gateway Pundit also points out how Tony's wife, Cherie Blair got a little dig in at the media on her way out. You go Cherie!!

To top it all off, Bush got a great dig in about Jimmy Carter in his remarks on Tony Blair.
